Guest Room Revamped

Thanks to some pretty, brightly-colored Pottery Barn patchwork quilt bedding that is on loan from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, our guest room has a new and improved look! 


I generally prefer more neutral and cool colors in our decor, but our home has little bits of bright colors in various places, so the warmer colors are great for our guest room.  It looks much more inviting, and the quilt is sooo soft and comfortable!!  Plus, with the multitude of colors in the quilt, basically anything goes as far as accessories, art, etc.  And, now that our computer is in that room (it's a laptop but can no longer hold a charge :( ), it makes it a nice, cheery office space for us! 


So, here is a before pic of the guest room from an older blog post ...




we also had a duvet cover matching the pillows on the bed at some point, but that's the same as our master bedroom bedding, so as much as i LOVE our bedding, it's nice to have a little variety



And our finished (for now) product!

goes perfectly with my gary bukovnik print (formerly had a home above our bed)...

...and the oil painting billy did in high school (which i still need to frame)!

jefferson seems to enjoy the bedding and has developed an affinity for my baby blanket that resides in the guest room as well

Next project, replace the dated (and noisy) fan with a new white one.  Also, I'll try and remember to take a picture of the office area, now that I have removed all of the clutter from the desk and post that when we get our new fan, as well as our bedroom with the art switch I made this summer to go with the new guest room decor as well as to give our bedroom a fresh look.  Nothing better than a new look for free!!
